andrea corr - ideal world (from the album "ten feet high")
 

Jeanie marries when she's 21, She has a baby one year on | And every year that's the way that life goes | Lost herself in domesticity | A cleaning, feeding entity | She can't recall what she was before | In an ideal world kids would keep their rooms tidy | In an ideal world he'd be home from his work on time | And in the morning I could lie in | Johnny signs his share of autographs | For all the people he makes laugh | And he walks home to an empty flat | Does his best to fight the silence | Late night TV vicodens | He can't forget what he had before | In an ideal world she would still think I'm funny | In an ideal world she'd be waiting in bed for me | And in the morning we could lie in | In an ideal world | Molly's sitting in a waiting room | The top doctor will see her soon | In the body nature gave her | Worried if she'll ever wake up | Wondering if she's better off | Why can't she be what she was before? | In an ideal world he would still think I'm pretty | In an ideal world he would only want bed with me | And in the morning we could lie in | In an ideal world you would make a decision | In an ideal world you'd be making a home for me | And in the morning we could lie in | Sunday mornings we could lie in
